At the back of the printer is a door. Open door and put some very thin oil(firearm or sewing machine oil works well) either sides of the shaft that the black rollers are on.



Good luck

My 2015 Nissan Versa is making squeaky sound while driving

A squeaky sound coming from underneath your 2015 Nissan Versa Note, even with low mileage, can be worrisome. While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact problem without a physical inspection, I can suggest some potential causes based on your description and the symptoms:
Possible reasons:
Worn suspension bushings: These rubber parts connect various suspension components and can dry out or develop cracks over time, resulting in squeaking when they move.
Loose sway bar links: These control bars aid in stabilizing your car during turns and can become loose, leading to clunking or squeaking noises.
Loose or worn-out serpentine belt: This belt drives various accessories such as the alternator and power steering pump. When it's worn or loose, it can produce a squealing sound, particularly when starting or accelerating.
Dry or worn CV axle boots: These rubber boots protect the CV joints that transfer power to the wheels. If they are dry or torn, they can cause squeaking, especially during turns.

Additional information for diagnosis:
Does the squeaking occur consistently or intermittently?
Does the sound change in pitch or intensity when turning or braking?
Is there any noticeable vibration or pulling to one side while driving?
Have you observed any other changes in the car's handling or performance?
Recommendations:
Schedule a service appointment with a qualified mechanic: They can examine the suspension, brakes, and other potential sources of the noise and provide an accurate diagnosis.
Do not disregard the noise: Ignoring it could lead to more serious issues and costly repairs later on.
Gather any additional information you can: If the noise seems to occur under specific conditions, make a note of them to assist the mechanic in their diagnosis.
While your low mileage may suggest that the issue isn't significant, it's always best to have it checked by a professional. Early detection and repair can save you time, money, and potential safety risks in the future.

Squeak front wheel

depends on what type of pads are in if they are a hard pad they will squeak some times it depends on the weather if its damp a softer set of pads will stop from squeaking you could also try cleaning the rust away from the outer edge take wheel off then by hand turn disk use a spoon or a blunt pice of metal to scrape off the rust normally solves the problem also can try putting copper grease on the back of the pad so when you take your foot of the break pedal the grease sort of sucks the pad off the disk hope this makes sence chears ivan

Squeaky noise

You clean the printer by running cleaning pages. You can find "Cleaning Page" in your printers menus. As for the "squeaky noise", I have found it is the worst with "recycled" toner and toner kits. Finding the cause of the squeak is a very difficult thing to do. You will need to remove the front, back and sides of your printer and check all the nooks and crannies for the squeaky wheel. I have been able to remove the squeak by installing a manufacturer original toner. "Cleaning" the rollers usually has nothing to do with the squeak.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease! Yes it's a mechanical problem. The paper feed rollers and gears are loaded with paper dust and need to be cleaned or replaced.

Loud squeaky noise from front tires when turning and somtimes whe

Hi my name is Tom and I can help you.

Driving with your emergency brake on is only going to affect your rear brakes. There is a cable running from the emergency brake lever to your rear brakes.

You did not say how long you drove with the emergency brake on, but even a short distance and you forced the front brakes to do the work of stopping the car. This causes overuse which translates to heat. When the brakes over heat they "fade" and do not stop the car effectively.

In addition the heavy load of doing all the stopping causes the brakes not to realign. Therefore, when you go around corners the brakes pads will rub against the rotors.

I would suggest you get the brakes looked at or look at them yourself. I can help you do the job but I would need to talk to you directly. Let me know what I can do to help.

Squeaky HP printer

Typically the squeaking comes from the toner cartridge. If you just purchased it, take it back, it's bad. If you can find an identical printer, swap cartridges and see if it makes a difference.

Scanning

The 6180 memory device refers to the removable memory devices that can be loaded into the slots on the front of the machine, not the scanner. Your devices are configured wrong.

 

The scanner is a TWAIN device and therefore requires a Twain driver. Accessing Twain sources requires you to SELECT SOURCE for your scanning software.

 

Just un-install, re-boot, then re-install the drivers for the 6180. Make sure to allow the resident software that runs on your PC to run in the background.  HP needs the "ImageMonitor" and other software to run in order to "feed" your scanning software.
